Africa was no exception, as the Young Dryas period (12,800 to 11,500 years ago) was when several species, including giant buffalos, zebras, and wildebeest, went extinct.
...
Zebras are extinct?
Yes
Wildebeest are extinct?
That's gnus to me.
The Grévy's Zebra (Equus grevyi) is endangered.
The common zebra (Equus quagga) is all over the place and quite tasty.
Perhaps what was meant was giant forms of the buffalos, zebras, and wildebeest. Europe had the giant cattle, the Orauchs (sp?), that has gone extinct, the giant cave bear, dire wolves and deer all gone.
